Instructions

Miso glaze for salmon

In a bowl, mix all ingredients together and marinate salmon filet in it while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Marinated Cabbage

In another bowl, mix lime juice, salt, honey and 1 tablespoon sesame oil, mix well, add red cabbage, toss and let it sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Salmon

Heat a non-stick pan to medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp avocado and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, mushrooms, and ¼ teaspoon of salt, sauté for 3-4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
In the same pan, drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado and sesame oil, heat it up over medium-low heat, and add the marinated salmon (skin side down), cook it for 2-3 minutes then turn and cook again for 2-3 minutes. Once done, remove to a plate.
Once everything has been cooked, you are ready to assemble your bowls. In each bowl, divide the cooked rice, place the salmon on top, and spread the rest of the toppings around. In the end, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
